In 1935, preliminary sketches were presented, of which only the armament of design A was within the limits imposed by the London Naval Treaty of 1936. Development continued on a project with twelve 356 mm guns housed in three turrets. Its development led to the introduction of the North Carolina-class battleships.</p><p> </p></div>


===Pros===
* Pro 1
* Pro 2


|Performance={{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
===Cons===
Tier VII premium American battleship {{#var:ship_name}} combines an accurate main battery with a moderate top speed and excellent concealment. Her hull differs greatly from Tier VII American Standard battleships [[Colorado]] and [[California]], with a lower freeboard, heavily armored deck, and raised citadel. Captains looking for a unique battleship experience will enjoy {{#var:ship_name}}’s opportunistic, ambush focused play style.
* Con 1
* Con 2


<h4>The Hull</h4>
{{#var:ship_name}}’s hull characteristics prove advantageous in some situations and disadvantageous in others. With a rudder shift time of 15.4 seconds, she struggles to make course adjustments necessary for dodging torpedoes. Her small health pool of 51,800, one of the lowest of all Tier VII battleships, exacerbates this vulnerability. However, the subtle course adjustments needed to dodge incoming shells or avoid grounding on islands are not a problem, as she features a better than average turning circle.


{{#var:ship_name}}’s concealment is a defining feature of her playstyle. With a surface detectability range of 13.9km (11km with relevant skills and upgrades), {{#var:ship_name}} is one of the stealthiest battleships at Tier VII, allowing her to choose engagements advantageous to her. She also excels as a late-game ambush predator, using her concealment to sneak up on unsuspecting cruisers and battleships and pump their broadsides full of steel.

<h4>The Armor</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
{{#var:ship_name}}’s armor is in many ways the opposite of Tier VII tech tree American Battleship ‘’Colorado’’. While ‘’Colorado’’ features a wider frame with an underwater citadel, {{#var:ship_name}} has a slender frame with an above-water citadel. ‘’Colorado’’’s main armor belt is thinly plated at 26mm, while {{#var:ship_name}}’s lower belt is reinforced with 285mm of plating, protecting her citadel from long range battleship fire. {{#var:ship_name}}’s 37 mm deck is one of the most well-armored decks at Tier VII, making her highly resistant from cruiser and destroyer high-explosive shells.

</div>


As a fast, slender ship with relatively well-armored extremities, {{#var:ship_name}} shrugs off most medium to low caliber high explosive shells. She can also cause large caliber battleship armor piercing shells to ricochet off her angled midsection. Again, her biggest threat is torpedoes. An above-average torpedo protection of 26% does not make up for her small health pool and sluggish maneuverability.

<h4>Main Armament</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
{{#var:ship_name}}’s main armament consists of 12 slow-reloading and accurate 356mm guns arranged in a 3x4 configuration. Her main battery uses the large cruiser dispersion formula found on ships like [[Alaska]] and [[Graf Spee]]. While a sigma value of 1.7 suggests that her shells tend to fall relatively far from the center of an aiming reticule, her large shell count effectively saturates these small areas with shells. As a result, {{#var:ship_name}} can deal devastating damage to broadside enemy cruisers and battleships with a high level of consistency. However, with a reload time of 32 seconds, it is advised for captains to hold their fire and wait (or even use her superior concealment to reposition) for the best possible shot.
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
{{#var:ship_name}}’s main battery’s biggest weakness is their abysmal armor penetration capabilities. While she has enough penetration to punch through cruiser and destroyer armor, she has trouble hitting battleship citadels at mid and long ranges. Furthermore, she lacks the ability to overmatch 25mm of armor, making her A.P. ineffective against angled battleships and heavy cruisers. In these situations, captains should make use of her high explosive shells to deal consistent damage.

<h4>Anti-Aircraft Suite</h4>
</div></div></div>
The anti-aircraft suite of {{#var:ship_name}} can be characterized as above average, having a range of 5.8km, 5 flak, and a mid range dps of 270. She also gets access to Defensive AA fire, which will give enemy carriers second thoughts about striking her.

<h4>Game Play Summary</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
{{#var:ship_name}}’s play style departs from the standard battleship play style of staying at longer ranges in the early game and progressively getting closer as the match progresses. Instead, captains should stay within the mid-range throughout the match. They should carefully analyze the mini-map, predict enemy rotations, and use her stealth to catch enemy ships by surprise with a devastating salvo from her accurate guns. While {{#var:ship_name}}’s lack of main-battery over-match may pose issues, experienced players who know how to identify and exploit weak spots in enemy lines will enjoy her ambush predator play style.

|OptimalConfiguration=<!-- write some general text about selection of optimal configuration below (optional)-->


Florida’s optimal build is the standard stealth and tank build, with skills like fire prevention and concealment expert. Captains may choose to either enhance her top speed using brisk or counter her torpedo weakness with vigilance. Gun Feeder is highly recommended, as {{#var:ship_name}} makes use of both her H.E and A.P during each battle.

==In-game historical inaccuracies==
* Actual name is ''Scheme XVI''.
* ''Florida'' is actually the name of a ''Florida''-class battleship (BB-30) that was in service from 1911 to 1931. No other warship inherited the name until 1983, when a ''Ohio''-class cruise missile submarine (SSGN-728) entered service.
* Original secondary armament consisted of only single and twin 5"/38 caliber guns. The 20mm Oerlikon and 40mm Bofors mounts were invented by WG.
* ''Florida'' carries a Naval Aircraft Factory N3N with pre-war markings despite the ship's fictional late-WW2 configuration. For 1944 condition, the ship should be carrying either the Vought OS2U Kingfisher or the Curtiss SC Seahawk.
* The 5"/38 caliber gun's actual rate of fire is 15 rounds per minute, not 10 or 20.
* All known sketches of Scheme XVI depict the 14"/50 evenly spaced in the quad turrets, similar to those of ''[[King George V]]''. ''Florida'' instead is modeled with the guns separated into groups of 2, similar to French battleships.

Florida — U.S.A. Premium Tier VII Battleship.

After the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, the "battleship building holiday" began. It was only toward the end of this period that the U.S. Navy started preparing to build ships of this class. In 1935, preliminary sketches were presented, of which only the armament of design A was within the limits imposed by the London Naval Treaty of 1936. Development continued on a project with twelve 356 mm guns housed in three turrets. Its development led to the introduction of the North Carolina-class battleships.
